There's no shortage of issues for Irondequoit voters to consider as they vote for a new Town Board majority Nov. 5.

Medley Centre has lost a few outbuildings but still dominates discussion on East Ridge Road. I-Square is growing on Titus Avenue. Library supporters are gearing up for a second referendum, and the question of where to build more senior housing remains unanswered.

The election for Town Board and supervisor matches the Republican slate against three untested Democratic challengers who believe they'd fare better at it.

Current Supervisor Mary Joyce D'Aurizio is running for a new two-year term against Democrat Adam Bello. Paul Marasco is seeking re-election to the board and is joined by fellow attorney William Brongo, who hopes to replace Deborah Essley.

The challengers say there's a "void in leadership" in Town Hall and believe they'd have a defter hand in economic development.

For Medley Centre, that would mean tighter enforcement of the terms of the tax abatement agreement. Since the developer has missed benchmarks, Bello said, the town should hold his feet to the fire and make sure something happens.

"Medley Centre doesn't have to be an eyesore — something good could happen there," Bello said. "But the town can't sit on its hands. It has to be an active partner."

D'Aurizio and Marasco said the Democrats' call for hardball tactics reflects a misunderstanding of the agreement, which was signed before either of them was on the board. D'Aurizio in particular has called for continued negotiations with the developer, Scott Congel, despite calling him "a nightmare for me."

"My concern is, I don't want Sears and Macy's to leave. People keep forgetting there's still business going on there," she said. "It's really easy for individuals to criticize, but you've got to look at the total picture of that property and the impact it can have on the rest of East Ridge Road."

The Republicans touted the town's stable tax rate as an inducement to developers and said the agreement they brokered with I-Square ended up saving the town money. Bello said the current administration nearly fumbled the deal away before Assemblyman Joe Morelle — for whom both Bello and Seeley have worked — brokered a compromise.

Mike and Wendy Nolan, the I-Square architects, have donated $2,650 to Bello's election campaign, according to state campaign finance records, and are among the loudest voices calling for change.

On the topic of senior housing, both sides agreed a need exists but neither had definitive answers about the town's role in the matter. Bello, Seeley and Brango all mentioned repurposing existing properties.

The two other Town Board members, Irena Skrobach and John Perticone, are both Democrats. If Bello's slate wins, Irondequoit will join Brighton as the only fully Democratic town boards in Monroe County.
